Lascalles is far far far from ready for PL. he looks slow and awkward on the ball too.

I was hoping we'd sign Rudiger AND Matip.

I had 0 expectations for them, but jesus they were overrun by fucking Atlas

If Banega can be a disciplined midfielder who sits, good in possession, excellent distribution and can allow others to break forward while not necessarily being a defensive midfielder (having a sitting midfielder who only does nothing but protect the back line is a wasteful position IMO) then I am all for it. We will consistently lose the battle in the midfield if we don't have a better partner for Wijnaldum. I think Abeid is the only one really capable of fulfilling that role for us in our current squad properly to be honest.

Put it this way...Aarons, Armstrong, Obertan and Perez made it hard on themselves not to score as well. They carved out some decent changes as well. Obertan of course, if he had any footballing brain would just use his f***ing pace and attack the goal. When I sit and think about it, I'm just very disappointed in Colback and Anita. They looked lost out there if I'm honest. Even simple passes missed or behind or in front of the man that forced us to lose possession or slow an attack down. Grinds my gears when our players consistently do that - not playing the ball correctly slows us down far too much.

Sloppy in possession, tried to play it out the back for the most part. Didn't help that Atlas players were trying to fuck someone up all match. There's def an emphasis on pressing the ball and playing quick passing and movement in the attacking 3rd. It was glaringly obvious who needs replaced etc. See my post above for a little more detail.

It was a sloppy match versus a team happy to slide into tackles and dive into rash 50/50 challenges. Our players looked then shit scared of getting hurt and played even sloppier. Full Backs: Janmaat and Haidara got forward well, but looked very rusty. Not concerned with these positions as Haidara is also returning form injury himself. Center Backs: It's Either Colo + New CB, Dummett + New CB or 2 New CBs. Simple as that. CM - Can't play Colback + Anita. Both of whom were sloppy in possession and gave the ball away far too much. Wijnaldum + 1 of them is clearly the way forward partnering with Anita, Colback, Tiote, Abeid I imagine. Again, I'd even welcome adding someone else here if we strengthened elsewhere. Sissoko, whatever his position was, was sloppy again - gets in to right place but place a lazy pass over and over. Attack: Cisse looked lively, he was getting involved everywhere. But his passing will always be hit or miss. De Jong looked good, he's far more intelligent than anyone we've got out there. Gouffran, .

Siem needs a proper team around him. That means movement and pace and a striker who can pass the ball too.

Need signings badly. All over the place.

Aarons, De Jong looked bright. Agree about Anita and Colback - fucking worthless and looked lost, couldn't pass or tackle.

Guy slides on Aarons. Gets hurt. We kicking out. These cunts have been trying to hurt us all game.

You have to be joking

Cmon now

Scarf!!!

Aarons

Yet that's a foul.

Managers need to have a word

It's a fucking friendly man.

Nah just a big cunt.

Lascalles is as useless as Willo. Just larger.

Floated. Set penis.

Nice dive.

Get some subs in. Tired of watching these fools

That's in the net if the ball was played on the ground to him.

Fuck your scarves
